You will find that living off campus is a different experience from living in residence halls or in our student neighborhoods. Residential neighborhoods have people with varying lifestyles and living arrangements may differ greatly from yours. This experience can be enjoyable if you adapt your lifestyle to the community you have entered.

Living off campus does not circumvent your responsibility as a member of the UD community to abide by the Student Standards of Behavior and Code of Conduct (pdf). All students, regardless of their residence, are obligated to comply with the Student Standards of Behavior and Code of Conduct.

Living on campus offers students a unique opportunity to complement their academic experience and achieve a greater level of educational fulfillment. UD has a vibrant, friendly and inclusive community where students feel at home and can easily connect with other students, faculty and staff outside of the classroom.

The Marianist tradition values community living as the practical way in which Christians learn to live the Gospel, striving to love God, neighbor and self in daily life. All people, regardless of religious belief or faith tradition, learn essential life lessons such as self-awareness, communication, cooperation, mutual respect, courage, forgiveness, patience and trust from living in community with others. Our principles and habits of community living can be found in our Commitment to Community (pdf).
